Air suspension for 1972 open road motorhome.

So we’ve been all over Oregon, Washington, California, and Idaho with this thing. It’s running great! Best mileage so far 11mpg, worst 6mpg on the I84 bucking a nasty wind at 70mph. Engine turning at 3500+ to keep up with traffic.

I recently installed an inverter, TV, coffee maker, and upgraded interior lighting. The only thing that I want is a better way to level things out in a campsite. Right now I’m driving up on blocks. I’m not sure why but one always wants to kick out. Sometimes it’s really easy. But if the campsite is sloped like the one I’m in now, we can’t get the front high enough. I don’t have room to pack different size blocks. (I’ve got six 2x6 angle cut front to drive up on now) if we don’t get level, the propane fridge (original) won’t get cold.

So this leads me to the question, is there an air ride setup available? One that won’t drop the truck. I believe it’s stock height. I’ll attach some pics. Keep the stock height, improve handling a bit, but be able to hit a switch or valve to raise the front end maybe 4 or 5 inches? More would be better, but I feel like that’s asking a lot. All front end components seem factory. In good shape too. Might be nice to just replace the springs. What do you think?


Sorry this one is sideways. Not sure why.
